Holding Out: The Art of Female Orgasm Denial
Welcome to the world of female orgasm denial, where the pleasure is all about teasing, building up erotic tension, and denying. You might be wondering why anyone would willingly deny themselves or their partner the ultimate sexual release. After all, isn’t orgasm the main point of having sex?
While many people do aim for orgasm, for some, the real pleasure lies in delaying it, drawing it out, and ultimately intensifying the overall experience. And when it comes to dominant-submissive relationships, orgasm denial can be a powerful tool to heighten erotic tension and intensify physical and psychological pleasure. But it’s not just for those in power play scenarios. Anyone can incorporate orgasm denial into their sexual routine whether partnered or solo.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the art of female orgasm denial, how to practice it safely, and why it can be such a tantalizing erotic experience. So if you’re ready to push your pleasure to the edge and beyond, read on to discover the thrill of orgasm denial.
What is ‘female orgasm denial’?
It is the act of taking a woman or a vulva body to the brink of orgasm and then intentionally delaying or withholding the orgasm. For some, being brought to high states of arousal without experiencing climax can be incredibly exciting. In the context of BDSM, orgasm denial is considered an extreme form of dominance and submission, which can deepen the erotic control bond between partners.
In an orgasm denial scenario, one partner takes on the dominant role and assumes control over the other’s orgasm. The submissive partner consents to the dominant partner’s control, allowing them to dictate when and if orgasm is allowed. This power dynamic can be incredibly thrilling for both partners, and some individuals report experiencing particularly intense orgasms after engaging in orgasm denial.
If you’re interested in exploring power dynamics in your sex life, orgasm denial can be a great way to start. By giving yourself over to your partner and trusting them with your sexual experience, you can create a uniquely erotic and intense encounter that will leave you both craving more.
Female sexual response cycle
The female/vaginal sexual response cycle is a model used to understand and describe the physiological and psychological responses that occur during sexual activity. It consists of four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. In orgasm denial, understanding the sexual response cycle is important because it allows for better control of the process and the ability to build and maintain arousal over a longer period of time. By withholding orgasm, one can prolong the plateau phase. Additionally, being aware of the cycle can help prevent accidentally crossing the threshold into orgasm during play, ensuring that the denial remains a deliberate and consensual act. Overall, a solid understanding of the sexual response cycle can enhance the experience of female orgasm denial and allow for a deeper exploration of one’s sexual desires and boundaries.
Orgasm denial isn’t the same as edging
Although similar in their ability to delay orgasm, orgasm denial and edging are not the same practice. While edging involves reaching the brink of orgasm and then delaying it to intensify the eventual release, the ultimate goal is still to reach orgasm. Orgasm denial, on the other hand, is the practice of intentionally withholding orgasm altogether.
Edging and orgasm denial both rely on building and intensifying sexual tension, but the key difference lies in the end goal. With edging, the end goal is a more intense orgasm through delaying its release, whereas orgasm denial is about the act of withholding orgasm entirely. It’s important to note that orgasm denial isn’t the same as ruined orgasms – it’s about experiencing better, more intense orgasms through the practice of delaying or withholding orgasm.
Why you should try orgasm denial
Four reasons you should try orgasm denial.
1. Increased sexual pleasure and delayed gratification
Practicing orgasm denial can be a powerful way to experience delayed gratification, which can be incredibly satisfying and fulfilling. In today’s world, we’re used to getting what we want instantly, whether it’s through fast food, online shopping, or streaming services. But by intentionally delaying our sexual gratification through orgasm denial, we can tap into the pleasure of anticipation and build up an incredible sense of desire. By taking the time to really explore and savor our sexual experiences, we can discover new heights of pleasure and intimacy with our partners.
2. It can reinvigorate your sex life
Orgasm denial is a total turn-on for both partners involved and a great way to break up the monotony of your usual routine. Let’s be real, we often rush through sex just to get that quick satisfaction and move on to other things. But with orgasm denial, you’re forced to slow down and give each other the time and attention you deserve. By introducing this element of control, you can bring back the heat and spark that might have faded over time.
3. It helps you last longer
If you’re looking to last longer in bed, orgasm denial might be just what you need. By delaying or withholding orgasm, you’re training your body to build up its stamina and strength, which can lead to longer, more intense orgasms when you finally do release. The power dynamics at play can also help with premature ejaculation, giving you greater control over your sexual experience. When you do finally reach orgasm after practicing orgasm denial, the feeling can be incredibly intense, flooding your system with dopamine and leaving you on a sexual high. So not only is orgasm denial a fun and exciting way to switch up your sex life, but it can also help you become a better, more confident lover in the process.
4. To explore different power dynamics
By denying the submissive’s ability to orgasm, the dominant is exerting their power and control over their partner’s sexual experience. This can be a deeply arousing and satisfying experience for both partners, as it allows them to explore their desires and boundaries within a safe and consensual framework. For submissives, the act of orgasm denial can be a way to surrender control and submit to their dominant partner’s desires. It can also create a sense of anticipation and longing, heightening the intensity of the eventual orgasm. For dominants, the act of denying orgasm can be a way to assert their dominance and control over their partner.
Ultimately, orgasm denial can be a powerful way for partners to explore their sub/dom power dynamic in a consensual and exciting way. It requires a great deal of trust and communication, but for those who are interested in exploring BDSM and power play, it can be an incredibly satisfying experience.
Different types of orgasm denial
There are several types of orgasm denial.
Teasing
Teasing is one of the most common types of orgasm denial, and it can be incredibly effective at building desire and arousal. With teasing, the focus is on bringing the individual to the brink of orgasm, but then withholding that release, creating a sense of anticipation and desire. This type of orgasm denial is often associated with a power dynamic, where one partner is in control and the other is submissive. The teasing partner might use their words, touch, or other forms of stimulation to bring their partner to the brink of orgasm, and then stop just before they reach that point of release. This can be incredibly arousing for both partners, and can deepen the sense of intimacy and connection between them. Ultimately, teasing can be a powerful way to explore your desires and push your boundaries, all while enhancing your sexual experiences and building a stronger connection with your partner.
Bondage-assisted denial
Bondage-assisted denial is another type of orgasm denial that involves the use of restraints or bondage to enhance the experience. In this type of play, the person being denied orgasm is restrained, which can create a sense of powerlessness and vulnerability that intensifies the experience. The restraints can be physical, such as handcuffs or ropes, or they can be mental, such as a command to stay still or not to move. The combination of restraint and denial can create a powerful and intense experience that is both physically and emotionally stimulating. For some people, bondage-assisted denial is a way to explore their submissive desires and to experience a sense of surrender and release. It can also be a way to deepen the connection with their partner and to explore new levels of intimacy and trust. Overall, bondage-assisted denial can be a powerful tool for exploring your sexuality, pushing your boundaries, and enhancing your sexual experiences.
Chastity devices
Chastity devices involve using various tools like penis cages, “Gates of Hell” penis rings, chastity belts, etc. to prevent the person from being able to orgasm. This practice can also include keyholding, where one partner holds the key to the other’s chastity device, adding an element of control and power play. The feeling of being denied release while wearing a chastity device can be incredibly arousing for some, intensifying the experience of being controlled and dominated. Chastity devices can also help with premature ejaculation and increase sexual stamina.
Solo orgasm denial
Engaging in orgasm denial alone can be a form of self-control and self-exploration. It offers an opportunity to break free from masturbation routines and to explore your own hypersensitivity during the plateau phase. By controlling your breath and experimenting with different sensations and movements, you can prolong the arousal and delay orgasm. It can also be a way to challenge oneself and develop self-discipline, which can be beneficial in other areas of life.
Orgasm denial with a partner
If you’re interested in trying orgasm denial, it’s important to have an open conversation with your partner before engaging in any play. Surprising your partner with this kind of play is not the way to go. Both partners must consent to it for it to be appropriate and enjoyable. One of the things that makes orgasm denial so exciting is the mutual agreement to withhold an orgasm.
Start by discussing why this type of play appeals to you. This will help you both understand each other’s desires and boundaries. A flirty way to start the conversation could be to ask, “Have you ever thought about controlling my orgasm?” Then, explain why the idea arouses you and see if you can get your partner on the same page. Talking about what turns you on is a good first step in trying different types of play.
Trying it for the first time with a partner
If you’re new to orgasm denial, try withholding orgasm for around 30 minutes and work your way up. It’s common for the submissive partner to struggle to hold back their orgasm during play, so using restraints like handcuffs or tying them up can increase the intensity of the experience. Restraining your partner also gives you complete control over their pleasure. You can use your hands or mouth to stimulate them, but be prepared to stop if they get too close to coming. To add an extra layer of anticipation, you can incorporate a countdown system. The dominant partner can give the submissive partner a pre-discussed number to count down from, and when they reach zero, they are allowed to orgasm. Communication is key during play, so make sure to check in with each other throughout the experience.
Trying it for the first time by yourself
This practice of erotic sexual denial allows you to be both the Dom and the sub. Get your favorite sex toy or go old school and use your hands. Follow your sexual response cycle and control your breath by taking deep inhales and exhales instead of shallow ones. When you feel yourself getting close to orgasm stop abruptly and allow your body to recover before starting again. During this break time you can focus on other sensations such as scratching your legs, slapping your thighs, or pulling your hair.
As you continue to explore this form of self-control, you may learn more about your preferences and gain a better understanding of BDSM, power play, and roleplay. It can be a great way to learn how to delay ejaculation, increase sexual stamina, and explore your own desires.
In conclusion, orgasm denial is not just a form of kink but also a way to explore your own or your partner’s sexual response cycle. It can be a great way to add a new dimension to your sex life, especially if you’re interested in exploring BDSM but find it intimidating. Even practicing orgasm denial alone can teach you about your kinky preferences and help you break out of a masturbation rut. And by incorporating orgasm denial into your sexual playbook, you can appreciate the other physical and psychological pleasures that sex brings to our daily lives. So, why not give it a try and see what kind of steamy pleasure it can bring to your sex life?
